Hello,

I am planning to pick up a new (to me!) lathe next week and I am looking to reduce the weight to make it easier to move about and transport.

Could anyone advise how to remove the tailstock and the carriage (Or if it is even advisable?!?)

The lathe is a Warco BH600g and it has already had the stand removed.
